She was phenomenal in "Lust, Caution", and so gorgeous too! I usually don't like Dolce & Gabbana but I loved the way she wore one of their dresses to a recent awards show (Independent Spirit Awards?). It looked so good on her! Thank you for starting this thread

China is very conservative..they blacklisted Tang Wei because of her role in the film. They wont show commercials or movies with her in it. Ang Lee was spared because he is an artistic director of the Beijing Olympics. *le sigh* not sure how long the 'ban' will last its a shame because she an amazing actress! Lust, Caution is her first film and she held her own with Tony Leung!

That is completely awful. Talent such as hers should be rewarded and praised not shunned because the role she played was somewhat risque.

I hope she gets more recognition for her work. She's also a much better actress than Zhang Ziyi. Ziyi has a nice, pretty and delicate look, and I understand why she appeals so many people, but I honestly can't stand watching her in movies.

Oh I agree 100%, I cannot stand Zhang...
Lust, Caution was an amazing movie. SO.Good.
She was amazing in it, and has a great career
ahead of her I hope that blacklisting will go away
...she's not as beautiful as Gong Li, but she's
certainly as talented...

tang wei wasnt blacklisted so to speak,
many people (mothers) felt that to suddenly have her on every add would
give out a bad rep to younger children (particularly girls)
(i.e not famous before, but very popular after you complete a 6 minute sex scene naked in a film)
